DESCRIPTION
The Infineon single mode SONET/SDH transceiver is compliant
with the Bellcore GR-253, ITU-T G.957 and ITU-T G.958 specifi-
cations. The transmitter section consists of a multiplexer, laser
driver, DFB laser diode and pigtail single mode fiber. The
receiver section consists of a multimode fiber pigtail, PIN pho-
todiode / preamplifier, postamplifier, clock and data recovery
unit and a demultiplexer. The 155 Mb/s parallel data interface
frees the customer from the concerns of pcb layout at 2.5 Gb/s.
The pluggable connector mates easily to the customer pcb, and
allows the transceiver to be removed prior to any solder reflow
or washing of the customer pcb.
The transceiver operates from a dual power supply (+3.3 V and
+5 V). The transceiver electrical interface is via a 100 pin plugga-
ble connector pair. The transmit and receive electrical signals
each consist of 16 parallel single-ended data lines which are
LVPECL (+3.3 V) compatible, and a differential LVPECL clock.
Both the transmit input data and clock lines, and the receive
outputs data and clock lines, are internally biased and termi-
nated. All lines are DC coupled to the interface connector.
Functional Description
This transceiver is designed to transmit and receive serial
2.5 Gb/s data via singlemode fiber at 1310 nm wavelength.
The transmitter accepts 16 lines of parallel electrical data at
155.52 Mb/s and a synchronous transmit clock at 155.52 MHz.
The data should be updated on the rising edge of the positive
transmit clock (TxDI55P). The data is multiplexed into a serial
data stream at 2488.32 Mbit/s. The data follows the SONET bit
ordering, where the MSB (Bit 0) is transmitted first, and the
LSB (Bit 15) is transmitted last. The laser driver circuit drives the
modulation and bias currents of the laser diode. The 2488.32
Mbit/s optical data stream is transmitted at 1310 nm wave-
length. The laser bias current is controlled by a power control
circuit, which regulates the output power over temperature and
aging. This is accomplished by using the output of a monitor
PIN diode (mechanically built into the laser unit) as a feedback
signal to prevent the laser power from exceeding the operating
limits. The laser driver modulation current is temperature com-
pensated to ensure a constant extinction ratio over temperature
variations.
The laser can be switched off with a logical low signal on the
Laser Shutoff input. The input is internally pulled high, so it can
be driven with an open collector TTL interface. The laser bias
current is monitored as an analog output voltage at the Bias
Monitor output (IB) pin. The bias monitor can be used to moni-
tor the aging of the laser.
The receiver accepts an input serial optical data stream at
2488.32 Mbit/s. The PIN/Preamp detects the incoming light and
converts it to an electrical current, which is then amplified. The
Clock and Data Recovery unit recovers the clock from the input
data stream, and aligns the data so it is synchronous with the
clock. The data is then demultiplexed directly to 16 lines of par-
allel data at 155.52 Mbit/s, with the MSB being Bit 0 and the
LSB being Bit 15. The receiver also outputs a 155.52 MHz syn-
chronous clock. The received data is updated on the falling
edge of the positive receive clock (RxQI55P).
The Rx Alarm (FLAG) indicator will switch active low if there is a
loss of optical input signal (LOS) or if the PLL in the clock recov-
ery unit is unlocked (Lock). The FLAG output is an open collec-
tor TTL, and can be used to monitor the function of the receiver.

Transmitter Electro-Optical Characteristics
Notes
1. The transmitter contains a control circuit which regulates the aver-
age optical output power. Nominal output power can be factory set
to any value within the specified range.
2. The Eye Diagram is compliant with Bellcore GR-253 and ITU-T G.957
specifications.
3. Jitter Generation is compliant with GR-253 and ITU-T G.958 specifi-
cations, when measured using a high pass filter with 12 KHz cutoff
frequency, and with a jitter level on the Tx Clock input which is less
than the Jitter Tolerance levels specified in "Transmitter - Recom-
mended Operating Conditions".
4. If the +3.3 V LVPECL Tx power supply drops below the specified
level, the laser bias and modulation currents will be held disabled
until the supply voltage rises above threshold, and after the Power
On Delay Time period.
5. A fault, such as high laser bias current or high average power, which
lasts longer than the specified Fault Delay time, will cause the trans-
mitter to be disabled. Cycling of DC power is then required to reset
the transceiver.
Receiver Electro-Optical Characteristics
Notes
1. Average Rx power for a 1x10
-10
BER, and using a PRBS pattern of
2
23
-1 length with 72 zeros and 72 ones inserted as per ITU-T G.958.
2. Jitter Tolerance for a 1 dB power penalty is defined to be 15 UI from
10 Hz to 600 Hz, 1.5 UI from 6 KHz to 100 KHz, and 0.15 UI from
1 MHz onwards, per ITU-T G.958.
3. Jitter Transfer is defined to be less than 0.1 dB up to 2 MHz, and
dropping at -20 dB/Decade after that point, per ITU-T G.958.
4. The Rx FLAG output is an active low, open collector TTL output,
which is set low if there is a loss of Rx optical signal input (LOS), or if
the clock recovery unit is unable to lock onto the Rx data input. A
decrease in optical input power below the assert level will cause the
FLAG output to switch Low (ON).
